The way to a guys heart....

I would tell anyone to get this massager. NO matter what you need it for, it works! Something as small as just wanting a hand warmer type item or as big as a bruised area of the body or pain from work or extensive work outs.

Pros:

Effective, warms instantly, great for any ache/pain-age/gender. price

Cons:

No storage bag, leaves ring around pot after boiled down. process to deactivate can be timely

Its funny. Ever since my wife found this site, I have, somehow, been nominated to be her guinea pig! With a product like the Heart massager, I can't say that I'm really complaining all that much though! This is a great product no matter your age, gender, orientation or preferences. This is an all over body, whatever ails you type of product. I had my wife order me one for when I was working in the winter. It really helped to keep me warm while the car was warming up on my way to work in the morning!

The Hot Heart Massager is a liquid filled, PVC material, heated massager. It comes in a simple box, wrapped in a plastic bag. When you open the box, the heart massager will be liquified with a floating, small, metal disc inside of it. It has the words "I love You" on the front of it. Its a pretty simple, discreet heated massager. I would not feel awkward or out of place to have this sitting out when company is over or with the kids running about. In fact, many of my friends and family that have visited have asked about it (or my wife has excitedly shown the product and whipped it from the box faster than I can say anything) and they love it too! They have asked where to get one. We have even purchased a number of these for gifts for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and even a few sets for the kids!

Mind you, our kids are 10 and under, but they find this thing so miraculous and awesome that they wanted one of their own and their mother wanted them to stop playing with hers. HA! So anyways, this is a great gift for anyone of any age.

How it works:
There is a solution inside of the heart that crystallizes when it is "activated" by simply pressing on the metal disc inside of the heart. When you click the disc, the liquid instantly crystallizes and heats up. I believe I read somewhere that this heart massager can reach temperatures of 130 degrees Fahrenheit? Either way, its warm enough to do some serious work on any sore muscles, aches and pains! I have used this massager several times after baseball practice, a long day at work and just because! Because the heart massager has a very smooth, flexible material, its great to squish up or work around any areas with cracks and creases (the neck for instance). It molds right to the area you need it to mold to and works wonders.

I used to activate this thing just to see the crystals form when we first got it! Ha! It drove my wife nuts.

To Deactivate it:
Once your heart massager reaches a "hard as a rock" state (and this will happen as it cools, roughly about 45 minutes to an hour after you've activated it) its very simple to deactivate. Simply take a pan of boiling water, a washcloth and the heart massager. Wrap the heart massager inside the washcloth so that none of the massager will touch any sides of the pan. Place the washcloth CAREFULLY inside the pot of boiling water. I suggest using tongs to retrieve it after its been deactivated, so keep those nearby. Wait for about 20 minutes (Or until crystals have completely liquified) and remove with tongs. Set the heart massager on a dry towel to dry and cool. After the massager has cooled, place it back in the box (or any other storage area) and wait for next use. You can use this massager immediately after it is done cooling. But no sooner. If you try to activate it during the "Cooling down" period, it will create a funky, half crystallized form and you'll have to boil it back down again.

I will note that it leaves a slight ring around the pot. I'm not sure if this is from the material that it is made of, or if its from the washcloth and the type of detergent/dryer sheets that we use. But, you may need to scrub the pot with an S.O.S. pad shortly after its able to be handled.

My only beef with this massager is that the deactivation process can be lengthy and wait time before next use can be as well. Otherwise, I love this massager and we will be ordering more when the time comes to get more gifts!

Follow-up commentaryI still like it8 days after original review

I still love our heart massagers. There was one problem though with two of the ones that we received. For some reason, only after about a month of using them (maybe a few times a week?) they started to get a creamy/crystallized texture to them. They were not boiling down and when they would be taken from the water to cool off and dry, they would re crystallize. Not sure what the deal was, but we ended up contacting Eden Fantasys about it and they were great about sending us out a prepaid shipping label, so that we could return them and get our replacements. Otherwise, they worked great! Maybe we got a bad batch?
